Abstract: A reusable clamp structure in which the clamping band (11) is provided with a tongue-like extension (30) at one end and with a fork-like end portion (20) at the other end which includes a slot-like opening (21); a form-locking connection of the open ends of the clamping band is achieved by sawtooth-like members (33, 33') extending outwardly along the lateral edges of the tongue-like extension which are adapted to engage with complementary sawtooth-like members (20', 20'a) extending inwardly from the longitudinal edges of the opening. To prevent outward escape of the tongue-like extension (30) in its engaged condition, a cover member (40, 140) may be provided over the opening (21) whereby the cover member may be punched out of the clamping band and bent out.

IPC: H04L25/00
Filed: 1995-02-09
Abstract: Analog signals representing individual digital values (+/-1, +/-3) pass through a telephone line to a receiver. These signals may be first provided in a pseudo random sequence. A linear echo canceller and a first adder eliminate, to an extent, echo signals resulting from second analog signals transmitted on the same telephone line by the receiver. A non-linear echo canceller and a second adder further reduce the echo signals and specifically reduce non-linear components in the echo signals. Adjustable signal delays achieve optimal performance of the linear and non-linear echo cancellers. An equalizer containing four (4) different modules then compensates for signal distortions introduced by the telephone line and minimizes the effect of noise in the telephone line. The equalizer modules are a digital gain control element, a feed forward digital filter and two (2) feedback digital filters. A detector module produces in one of several different ways at the receiver an estimate of the digital data (+/-1, +/-3) transmitted at the other end of the telephone line. The detector either extracts the digital information based on peaks in the received (non-equalized) signal or by adding the equalized signals with preset threshold values. A scrambler-descrambler module locally generates a replica of the digital symbols transmitted in analog form at the other end of the telephone line, based on a limited number (e.g. 23) of correctly detected digital values. The scrambler-descrambler module may also operate as a descrambler to recover data scrambled by the transmitter at the other end.

Abstract: An auxiliary baseband telephone instrument interface is provided in an answering machine to which any auxiliary telephone instrument, whether corded or cordless, can be connected and can control the answering machine functionality by use of in-band control signals. More specifically, a controllable switch arrangement is employed to connect outputs of an auxiliary instrument jack to outputs of a telephone line jack to which the answering machine is connected, or to the answering machine functionality itself and to disconnect the outputs of the auxiliary jack from the outputs of the telephone line jack or the answering machine functionality. Use of unidirectional paths controlled by a plurality of switching elements allows the user of an auxiliary telephone instrument connected to the auxiliary instrument jack to privately screen incoming calls on a telephone line connected to the telephone line jack, which the answering machine has answered and to controllably access other remote features of the answering machine. During the private screening of a call, a user of the auxiliary telephone instrument can interrupt the answering machine operations by entering an in-band control signal and thereby intercept the answered call. Additionally, use of the controllable switch array enables a user of the auxiliary telephone instrument to answer incoming calls, if desired, or to make outgoing calls, if desired.

Abstract: A diaphragm pump housing (12) is designed for molding out of plastics and utilizes a ribbing design which allows a high degree of strength while using a minimal amount of material and/or material having lesser strength. The rib design has an outer circumferential rib (22) about the periphery of the pump housing and a plurality of radially extending ribs (28) which extend outwardly from the center of the housing to the outer circumferential rib (22). Fastener apertures (30) are used to tie together the parts of the pump and the fastener apertures (30) are located between the radially extending ribs (28) in the outer circumferential rib (22). An intermediate circumferential rib (24) is provided adjacent the outer circumferential rib (22). The height of the ribs increases from the center of the housing outwardly to the outer circumference. The radially extending and the circumferential ribs (28,22,24,26) are the same height at locations where they intersect. This high strength design also allows the use of one piece inlet and outlet manifolds without undue flexing or leakage.

Abstract: The method consists in the treatment of water that contains, in solution, arsenic as the only pollutant, or water that contains arsenic in the presence of other pollutants, such as ammonia, methane, iron, manganese, by dissolving iron by electrolytic means in the water itself. The dissolved iron is oxidized into trivalent iron and the arsenic is oxidized from trivalent to pentavalent, by means of the aeration of the water, with consequent saturation in dissolved oxygen. The dissolved oxygen, by means of the catalysis of metal oxides that are present on the surface of a filtering granulate, is able to oxidize the iron and the arsenic, which co-precipitate together directly on the surface of the filtering granulate, increasing the thickness of the film.

Abstract: An ink containment and dispensing device for an ink-jet printer is provided with a main reservoir in the form of a flexible panel, which is typically maintained at ambient pressure. The main reservoir is coupled to a variable volume chamber via a one-way valve which allows the flow of ink from the reservoir to the chamber and prevents the flow of ink from the chamber to the reservoir. The chamber is coupled to a fluid outlet, which is normally closed to prevent the flow of outward ink. However, when the ink supply is installed in a printer, the fluid outlet establishes a fluid connection between the chamber and the printer. The chamber is part of a pump provided with the ink supply that can be actuated to supply ink from the reservoir to the printer. The pump has a linearly acting pumping member and a flexible diaphragm that overlies the pumping member, the diaphragm being impervious to the transmission of oxygen and moisture therethrough to prevent degradation of the ink within the chamber.

Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, a daytime running lamp (DRL) system for a motor vehicle includes a switchable connection from the headlamps (42,44) of the vehicle to the neutral connection (18) of the vehicle's alternator (10). Compared with the full system voltage of the vehicle, the neutral connection (18) of the alternator (10) is a lower-voltage source which can drive the headlamps (42,44) at reduced brightness. Such reduced brightness is a typical characteristic of DRL systems. The system disclosed herein can be more cost-effective and provide greater energy efficiency than alternative DRL systems.
